Harry Teague Announces Fall Congressional Internship Opportunities
Hobbs, NM - Congressman Harry Teague today announced internship opportunities for New Mexico students and recent graduates in his congressional office. Congressman Teague is currently accepting internship applications for the fall in his Washington D.C. office and district offices located across Southern New Mexico in Las Cruces, Socorro, Hobbs, Los Lunas and Roswell.
Interns in the Washington D.C. office have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process and the federal government by working closely with legislative, communications and constituent services staff members. Duties include attending Congressional committee hearings and legislative meetings, conducting tours of the Capitol, assisting with research, and drafting correspondence. In addition, administrative tasks such as mail processing, data entry, answering telephones, and assisting our legislative staff when needed will also be necessary. District interns have the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge on how a Congressional office serves constituents and interacts with the community while serving as a liaison to Congressman Teague's Washington D.C. office.
All internships in Congressman Teague's office are unpaid and candidates who are chosen for the Washington D.C. office are responsible for paying their travel and living expenses. However, the office gladly assists interns who wish to petition for academic credit. Interested candidates should email their cover letter, resume and writing sample to Michael O’Grady at michael.ogrady@mail.house.gov or call 202-225-2365.
